Tang Jinchen pressed his lips together, feeling somewhat despondent after being rejected repeatedly.
Looking at Gu Zhitong, he spoke again, this time with a trace of helplessness in his voice, "You're heading back to G City tomorrow. I'm also going on a mission in the afternoon, and I don't know when we'll meet next."
The atmosphere in the restaurant subtly shifted because of these words.
Momo paused with her chopsticks near her mouth, her eyes darting between Tang Jinchen and Gu Zhitong in surprise.
She hesitated, considering whether to leave for the living room to give them some private conversation time.
Her wrist was gently but firmly grasped by a strong hand.
She looked up.
It was Ye Zhan, who had been leaning against the doorframe earlier, now standing just behind her, his tall figure slightly inclined, making his sculpted features fall into shadow, presenting an indescribable aura.
Ye Zhan didn't speak.
He just gestured with his eyes, signaling her to leave with him.
